    The color of Frankenstein's jacket was also a specific PMS color from Universal.
    Some licensors give a wide range on colors, and some want a consistent look
    across lines.

    Frankenstein's boots are removeable - they give him extra height.

    I looked but could not find the prototype pics. Can someone post those?
    Thanks!

    It's something mandated by the Universal style guide. I work in licensing and pretended I was considering the Uni Monsters once (we just went with generic monsters) and thats when I noticed that they insisted upon it.

    Yeah, I am a little bummed. The Wolfman prototype was much better. I was really looking forward to him.

    they both look great, I was hoping they were coming at Halloween, tho. I'll be broke after the second wave of Retro Heroes in June or July.

    I really like the quality of these figures and will be getting these for sure. What is with Franky's green jacket?

    While I absolutely LOVED the earlier pictures, these new ones are cool too! I'll of course get every monster they come out with.... 2 a year? I wonder how many years we'll have to wait for a Creature From the Black Lagoon Mego style...? A couple of folks here are saying that Type-3-John worked on these. I got one of his Bigfoot customs, and I was so blown away- it is my favorite Mego style figure I have....

    Are those additional prototypes or the final product? The reason I ask is the Wolfman looks somewhat different from John's prototype - lighter paint on head and no furry cloth on the arms. Still looking forward to these figures.
